A little over a year ago, I weighed myself and I was 194 pounds (5'10"). I said enough is enough and started a walking and a healthy eating (not diet) regime. I have lost 32 pounds and am feeling great. I have added a home exercise machine to help build muscle mass back. I am 61 years old and am in better shape that I have been since college.
